Hidden photos cannot be accessed by mSpy itself. However, after installing the app, if the screen recorder is turned on, it might capture whatever happens on the screen while viewing these hidden photos. Your user must access these hidden photos during the time of screen recording.

Many people ask whether mSpy has capabilities of accessing hidden pictures in a device. While there is no bypassing this for its primary function, I have discovered an indirect way to have a sneak peek at them.

 

mSpy's Direct Limitations

Monitoring standard photo albums, communication logs and browsing history are some of the areas where mSpy excels. Nevertheless, it faces problems with:

  1. Hidden or Encrypted Folders: mSpy can’t reach encrypted folders where photos are kept.
  2. Concealment Apps: These apps secure hide files that cannot be breached by mSpy.

 

A Potential Workaround

The mSpy Photos feature does not directly reveal hidden pictures; nonetheless, its Screen Recorder option provides a potential solution. When activated, this feature records live screen activity on your device. It will capture such actions if one opens hidden images using his or her smartphone after installing mspy and when the screen recorder is still on.

But remember: This depends upon precise timings and the steps taken by your user towards hidden content.

 

My Experience with the Screen Recorder Feature

I found out that as far as this application is concerned such a feature would make sense when you use it for capturing real-time activities performed on your device. Although it’s impossible to get into any hidden image in a direct way through this method; yet it may help identify what exactly appears on a particular display including concealed materials.

To sum up, MSpy does not provide direct access to hidden snapshots but its screen recorder could probably give some glimpses under certain circumstances.

However using a recordable monitor to view secret snaps should be approached with caution. A person’s privacy should always be prioritized and this has to be the last resort method.
